usls, even to the calling in question
of the wisdom of your Liberation,
but the Democracy of Texas, as q party,
will take no part in this contest or
hold any member of it disloysl on &C
count of his action thereon" This was
the official proclamation Of Democratic
law and when the Democratic convention
adjourned it did not transmit the
Democratic conscience to the San
Antonio Express for keeping, or to Arch
Cochran or Jerome Kearby to put on tap
in conventions where they might sit as
| leaders.
This defiance of Democratic law comes
with bad grace from those who proclaim
their right to sit in judgment on Demo
cratic action and support or oppose
Democratic nominees at will. These are
the men who would drag the party into this
| contest because of bubble. The theory
that the Galveston convention intended
to express difference between local
option and prohibition is aa aspersion of
the party and portrays it as an organiza-
ton of mere form and altogether IN
principled. Such theory of the Demo
cratic meaning at Galveston is equivalent
to saying that convention of all sorts is
better qualified than q Democratic con-
vention to honestly proclaim Democratic
law.
The Democratic platform adopted at
Galveston binds no individual Democrat
to any course of action in the pending
election and frees every member of the
party to act as to him seemeth best
Democrats are liberated to view prohibit
ton as partisan or as non-partisan; they
may think and say as they choose as to
whether there is difference between
local option and prohibition; but
for any man or set of
men to attempt to drag the party, as
such, into this contest on such bubble is
to counsel the party to qualification and
dishonor, to disgrace and disintegration.
Those who cannot bend their indie
pendent spirits to support Democratic
nominees, are not the safest advisers in
days of doubt and peril.

The legs should be thirty-four iGChes
long, with the ends sawed of, standing
IN opposite directions, in order that the
top may tit and the legs stand firmly on the
floor. Cross the legs about thirteen inches
from the upper END, and put a round
headed screw through two, being careful
that it is not long enough TO 90 entirely
through the second one; then place the
third one and put another screw through.
Do not put them in too tightly until the
legs are altogether, as you may

the top before finishing. The top Shout
be fifteen inches square; mark the place
for the legs, at equal distance apart, ar
about one and half inches from the
edge. If you are good at such work it is
better to cut out little of the wood. so
that the legs will sink in an eighth Of an
inch; then put screws through the top
into the legs. Cover the screw heads
with putty. The legs at the bottom
should be spread about six inches more
at the top, otherwise il will tip easily.
The legs may be ebOnized, gilded or
stained any color to suit the fancy. The

deep fringe put on with ornamental
brass nails or an Ordinary cover is as

coGld be made without vital effect on
trade. Let US patiently await that effect,
since we are all agreed that some change
in method was demanded. One thing is
certain: The law has not retarded rail
road building, though it does seem to
promote consolidation. But may 1t not
be demonstrated that few grand arteries
are mere beneficial than numerous small
veins. And if the "long haur' is made
to conform to the "short haul" by the
railroads, cannot the people "regulaUe''
the ''short haul" to rate that will leave
no room for patron of either long OF

President Lincoln's use OF it at the Get

thus:
"Your piece of pig iron came to hand

seen from a charcoal furnace. 1t appears
to be perfect"
THE COAL SUPPLY.
In order to supply charcoal for the fur
mace, which consumes from 5000 to 1000
bushels per day, tract of timbered land
was purchased, fifteen miles from Rusk,
on the Kansas and Gulf Short
Line Railroad, and a convict camp
established there. The calculation
was that from $50 to 175 con-
vic:s (sfter a stock Of 100000 bush
els of coal was on hand to commence
WITH could keep up the supply so as to
keep the furnace in plast nine or ten
months. We find, however, that they
cannot do it, and that it will take force
of at least 25O men. With our present
contracts, cannot supply this force just
now.
We find that the quantity of coal used
is greater than we had calculated, and
that the yield Of coal from the wood is
less than we thought. To make coal
sufficient will require at least 1000 cords
of wood per week. The cosling force of
IT'S men is now becoming well organized
and getting accustomed to the work, and
the results are much better than at first.

A DARING BURGLARY.

Burglars effected an entrance into the

started for him with a club, but
he beat hasty retreat. The interior of
Mr. Wings house was reached through
a window of II sleeping room, which was
unoccupied, all the family happening to
be sleeping upstairs. The lower part of
the house was thoroughly rausacked,
none of the family being aroused. Prop

that he was disguised by means of IA sheet
wrapped about him or had some white
garment on over his clothing,
